The first virtual VMG-SPVS Congress proved to be a big success with more than 600 delegates, exhibitors and speakers attending across the two days (13 to 14 May).
Europe’s largest non-clinical veterinary conference offered five streams of live lectures, plus small-group interactive workshops.
Popular themes for the event were moving forward from COVID-19, team building and coaching, and inclusion and diversity.
All lectures were recorded and can be revisited by delegates via the event platform.
VMG president Rich Casey said: “The VMG-SPVS Virtual Congress was a fantastic opportunity to help reinforce our guiding principles of learning, sharing and growing.
“The diverse lecture programme and networking opportunities enabled a wide range of team members, from across the veterinary world, to support one another in the promotion and development of 21st century leadership.”
SPVS president Nick Lloyd added: “I really enjoyed the lecture programme, particularly the European stream, and feel I’ve gained invaluable guidance on recovery in these challenging times.
“With all the sessions recorded, it’s great to be able to catch up on all those that couldn’t be attended live.”
Congress 2022 will take place at the International Convention Centre Wales from 21 to 22 January 2022. Interest can be registered via the SPVS-VMG Events website.
